    It was a good 6-8 weeks before my stomach could register a full feeling. Don't eat til you feel full, eat what you're supposed to. It may be a while before you actually feel 'full'. HW 312, pre-op

  • Measure and log your food intake. Follow your surgeon's and Nut. advice. All those nerve endings need time to heal. You won't feel much early out. It will take time to get used to the chaos.

Four months out and I still don't feel full in the normal pre-op sense. I don't know if I ever will. I eat a measured amount of food each meal. Sometimes I can eat it all and sometimes I can't. For me it depends on the consistency of the food - soupy or soft I can eat more, thick or chunkier I can eat less. When I can't eat it all, I feel satisfied and disinterested. Sometimes I feel a slight pain or pressure below but between my breasts - I've learned the hard way, at that point even one more bite will make me sick. Not dumping-sick, but food backing up into your esophagus-sick - otherwise known as the dreaded 'foamies'.

I had the same problem in the beginning. I thought the surgery wasn't going to work or something. But I'm now 7 weeks out and def get the full feeling. It surprises me every time. I make sure I measure out my food to 4oz meals but most if the time I can't eat that in one sitting.

I'm 3 wks post op and feel the same way. Still feel like I'm dieting since I'm forcing myself to stick to a certain amount.
